Dealing with Big Emotions in the Preschool Classroom

Dealing with big emotions in the classroom has been part of my teaching life for years. I’ve had students go from happy to angry in what seemed like a second. I’ve had children who’ve cried a lot, always seeming to fall apart over different situations. I’ve had children with big worries that I wished I could soothe. I’ve had children who would shout at the top of their lungs when they didn’t get the toy they wanted. I’ve watched children have big meltdowns but had no idea what prompted them.

I’ve gone home exhausted, sometimes in tears. And I’ve received so many messages from parents and teachers who’ve asked for help, feeling the same way. They wished they knew why their children acted the way they did. They were desperate for answers.

Finally, there is a solution.

I’m so excited to be partnering with Dayna from Lemon Lime Adventures. She is helping me and so many other parents and educators get to the root of these behaviors.

Dayna is a national board certified educator who is now a stay-at-home mom of 3, one that deals with big emotions. She truly understand what we are going through. She’s lived it and has the tools to help! She wrote the popular post Top 10 Tips Every Parent of an Anxious Child Should Know. And now she has put together The Worries Workshop.

What is the Worries Workshop?

The Worries Workshop is a video e-course designed to show you how to easily understand your student’s behavior and implement calming strategies that work.

Starting with the very first lesson, the course provides the tools and strategies necessary to dig deeper to find the source of the worry. You will remain calm and help your student cope with his surroundings.
